RE: raidsize recommendations
by Derek Lai 22 Oct '04

22 Oct '04

The last administrator setup our production database to use 2 X 13 disk raid groups. It worked ok for about 1.5 years. However, I recently was re-organizing and decided to be safer and went to 3 X 9 disk raid groups. Besides taking longer to rebuild, the performance during rebuild was a big issue to me - we were already pounding the disks very hard, with disk utilization going to over 90% utilization frequently. If a disk goes out during peak hours, performance could degrade very substantially and it is just a problem that I do not need. So take that into consideration as well.

However, I would like create a raidsize=13 volume. The only risk i can glean from NOW is that rebuild time will increase and thus increase the chances of a second drive failure (during rebuild). Has anyone had any real world issues with using volumes of raidsize > 10 thanks, -Tavis

I am looking to partition an Overland Neo2000 to be shared by a NetApp(825) and a backup server (ARCserve r11 w/ NDMP license). When you use the LPO (library partitioning option) in the Neo it loses the capability to run in sequential more - each partition can only be used in random access mode. Does anyone know how NDMP/NAS communicates with libraries/changers when directly attached? Do they need to be sequential changing devices are do they also support random access tape changers? Thanks, Charlie

Mark, Way in the past we have had virus scanning issues and worked closely with Trend to fix them all up. The error's we use to get from that side were CIFS: Virus scanner [scanner] completed scan on [file] but original request was not found. We know quite a bit about that side of things, the ip addresses in the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx are clients workstations, The clients also have virus scanning enabled but another outsourcing company looks after the desktops. We have sent up packet traces and perfstat's today and hope they do find something. One of the ones I looked at in more details, after getting the user to log out and then terminating the session for her on the filer, it was still active, She logged back on and opened three apps, yet in open files under hyena she had outlook pst and xls's where she had not opened outlook or a file within excel, and there were multiple instances of these files roughly 150 or so.

Are you running virus scanning? Request type 4 is a close, which is only slow when virus scanning is enabled. Maybe what is happening is that you are copying a huge zip file (for example) and the scan is taking a very long time.

RE: raidsize recommendations

I have had none, the ideal sizing of RAID Groups is 8-14 drives per group. This will optimize performance in a RAID4 configuration. If you are worried about a double disk failure you can convert the RAID TYPE to RAIDDP if you have the extra disk. In fact it is recommended that with raidsize>14 to use raiddp. -----Original Message----- From: owner-toasters(a)mathworks.com [mailto:owner-toasters@mathworks.com] On Behalf Of Tavis Gustafson Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 3:29 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: raidsize recommendations I usually setup my filers with raidsize=7 having no more than 7 disks per volume.

RE: Snapmanger for exchange
by Benn, Paul 21 Oct '04

Hi Alan and Skip, This is just an "FYI" to eliminate any confusion. There has never been a version of SnapManager which supported the use of Exchange 5.5 on VLD. The first version of SnapManager for Exchange to support the use of Exchange 5.5 databases on NetApp LUNs is the most recent release, version 3.1. NetAppDrive is included with the SnapManager for Exchange 5.5 product. Its purpose is to maintain the CIFS drive letter mappings to the filer which Exchange uses as well as monitor the Exchange services. SnapDrive it different. It is a separate product and it is used for iSCSI and FCP LUN provisioning and management. Hope this helps.

Also, make sure that you have all the SP and hotfixes installed as per the NetApp SnapDrive/SnapManager Documentation. One other issue is the licensing of the newer versions of SnapDrive & SnapManager. You'll have to consult your agreement to determine if you can upgrade. Also, these products are now licensed either on a per filer or per host basis.

Thank you! This is just want I was looking for _____ From: Benn, Paul [mailto:paul.benn@netapp.com] Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 2:18 PM To: SKIP HOFMANN; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: Snapmanger for exchange Hi Skip, When you upgrade from SnapManager for Exchange 5.5 version 1.1.1 to the latest version of SnapManager for Exchange (version 3.1), you will replace NetAppDrive with SnapDrive as part of the process. These are very different products. The upgrade process is pretty straight forward and there is a documented process available. If you have a moment and want to get an idea of what you will need to do in order to upgrade, please take a look at the process in the administrator's guide. Here is a direct link to the section on this topic. If you download the SnapManager for Exchange version 3.1 administrator's guide in PDF format instead, the process begins on page 60. http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/SnapManager/relsme31/html/software/ admin/instal10.htm <http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/SnapManager/relsme31/html/software /admin/instal10.htm> Regards, Paul Benn _____ From: SKIP HOFMANN [mailto:SKIP.HOFMANN@ttisg.com] Sent: Thursday, October 21, 2004 1:04 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Snapmanger for exchange Hi all I'm running snap manger for exchange version 1.1.1 and netapp drive same version on a windows 2000 box with exchange 5.5.
